this is so true--this is how dumb, conflicted and hypocritical this country has become--at least poor people back in the 30's knew to vote for FDR during the last Depression---but today the red states consistently vote against their interests.

Re: GOP Senator Vows to help people into Obamacare, GOP then votes to cut off their welfare.

Wish I could remember where I saw it, but I once read a study that explained why seemingly fairly intelligent people vote against their own best interest. It has something to do with the "they can't be talking about me" syndrome. The need for people to always have someone that is in a class beneath them. For example when someone is "disabled" and draws a social security disability check from the government they deserve that money, but when someone is unemployed, even by no fault of their own, they don't deserve unemployment benifits because they are lazy. Go figure.
